Africa’s ‘Big Brother’ show postponed
The latest serious, ninth season, of this year's Big Brother Africa - Hotshots - was scheduled to open on Sunday, September 7. But organisers M-Net and Endemol SA postponed the launch of the show after a fire devastated the Big Brother's Johannesburg house on Tuesday this week.
The organisers of the show said they immediately started looking for an alternative Big Brother venue but they an alternative was not immediately available.
Announcing the postponement of the show, the organisers said, "At this stage M-Net and Endemol are urgently looking for an alternative Big Brother house in which to film the production, however as this production has highly technical infrastructure, camera and edit requirements, an alternative is not immediately available."
No one was luckily injured in the fire. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
Based at the Sesani Studios in Johannesburg, the Big Brother house has selected contestants from a total of 14 countries. The contestants, who are already in South Africa, are now awaiting update on when the popular show would launch.
Winner of the show will receive a prize of $300,000 this year.
